INTRODUCTORY. 



The object of this book is to provide for the intelligent 
administration of reliable medicines for home treatment of 
such diseases or ailments as are continually coming up in 
every household. 

The prescriptions contained in this book have been collected 
and compiled from the most eminent authorities of America, 
and indorsed by physicians holding high offices in medical 
colleges. They are in daily use by those who practice 
medicine upon a scientific basis, and any member of the 
medical profession in good standing will tell you every pre- 
scription given in this book is good for the disease for which 
it is recommended. 

The author of this book has for the past twenty years de- 
voted his time to drug-, and the yy prescriptions contained 
herein cover all ailments common to man or beast that may 
be prudently treated at home. 

These prescriptions will displace the patent medicine which 
occupies at great expense a place in the domestic economy 
of so many families. 

It is absolutely astounding to note the number of persons 
who will take without question, and for any disease, the 
mixture of any quack who can procure the money to put up 
a few bottles of his preparation and pay for a few pages of 
advertising. Not only are these patent medicines expensive 
to the consumer on account of the quantity to be used, but 
they are unreliable and no man knows what he is taking. 



The writer recently picked up a prospectus of an alleged 
germ killer, and this is what he read : 

"Kills the germs and microbes that cause 
the following diseases : Liver and kidney 
disease, dyspepsia, billiousness, constipation, 
colic, diarrhea, rheumatism, neuralgia, general 
debility, bloody flux, ulcerated stomach and 
bowels, pain in side and back, sick and nervous 
headache, enlargement of the liver, coughs, 
colds, croup, phthisic, tonsilitis, asthma, lung 
troubles in general, blood troubles, skin 
diseases, itch, eczema, la grippe and diseases 
resulting therefrom; also female troubles in 
general, leucorrhcea, ulceration and inflam- 
mation of the womb." 

Is it not disgusting to read of one medicine curing so many 
diseases, when the treatment of some must in the nature 
of things be exactly the reverse of the treatment of others? 
The cost of this preparation — medicine, bottle, cork and 
label — was five cents; its selling price one dollar; its real 
value nothing. 

In this book you will find thoroughly responsible formulas, 
which will enable you to do away with the patent medicines, 
and we want to impress you with the fact, that each pre- 
scription in this book has been tested by the most eminent 
physicians, and are wholly reliable. 

Great study, care and time have been used in getting up these 
selected formulas, and we present them to the public with the 
hope that their merits and usefulness will be readily seen, 
and that they will receive that high appreciation in your 
hands of which we have endeavored to make them worthy. 



Realizing that nearly every family into whose hands this 
book may fall, has eithei a horse or cow, we would consider 
the work incomplete without a veterinary department. We 
have therefore included twenty-three formulas which will be 
greatly appreciated by all who have an interest in stock. 

The formulas in this department have been compiled with 
great care, examined and corrected by a graduated vetrinarian 
holding diploma from Ontario Veterinary College. 

The prescriptions contained in this book would cost if 
purchased singly exactly $77.00, and would then be in an 
unprinted form. 

Hoping their use may prove of greater value than can be 
expressed in money, by relieving the sick and restoring health 
to the suffering, I am, 

Very truly, 

Edward E. Dismuke.

To one teaspoonful of Epson Salts add eight drops of 
Laudanum in one-fourth glass of water. Take every two

BLOODY MILK IN COWS,

times a cow eats poison weeds or vines and may from other 
causes deprive the organs from performing their proper 
functions, and the blood is thrown off in place of milk.

dose in bran or slop once a day. Usually two or three days'

No. 61. 

DISTEMPER. 

The symptoms are so common that we do not deem it 
necessary to give them. We have given such plain and com- 
plete treatment of epizootic and as the same treatment is 
the best we can recommend for distemper we will refer you 
to the same treatment of distemper as that for epizootic. 



No. 62. 
EPIZOOTIC. 

Symptoms. — A horse is taken with a hollow dry cough; 
he becomes stupid and fails to have a spirited look as usual. 
In a few days he refuses hay and begins to run a watery slime 
at the nostrils. After a while the discharge becomes thicker 
which resembles distemper. In some cases the throat will 
become swollen and in others no swelling is manifest. 

Give purgative powder No. 67 once a day, also use liniment 
No. 66, rubbing well under the throat, allowing the animal 
to inhale the liniment; also rub a small quantity on each side 
of the nasal organ from there down. In severe cases give a 
tar ball about the size of the yelk of an egg every three days. 
Give soft food, such as boiled oats, barley or bran-mash as 
possible. Keep your horse comfortable and give a little 
exercise every day. This is both an epidemic and contagious 
disease. We find that as far back as 18 12 horses and cattle 
were afflicted with the same disease in Europe. We had an 
epidemic in this country in 1872, and again in 1875. We 
would advise on first appearance to remove horse to some 
secluded place, and keep him away from the balance of your 
stock.

very much cheaper. This prescription is alone worth the 
price of the book. 






No. 64. 
LAMPASS. 

Lampass is common among young horses. It is inflam- 
mation of the gums, which become swollen and project below 
the front teeth. 

Scarify or cut them until they bleed, every three days, then 
rub on coarse salt. Give food that will be easily masticated, 
and it will eventually disappear. 



No. 65. 
LICE ON HOGS.

will leave the animal. It is well to destroy the old beds, 
and you can eventually eradicate them entirely.

It is very much better instead of giving this in food, us 
you would an ordinary condition powder, to wrap a table- 
spoonful in a small tissue paper, twisting the ends so as to 
make a ball out of it, pull tongue out with the left hand, 
place the ball on root of tongue, turn loose and it will be 
swallowed without resistance. However, if the animal has 
sufficient appetite to eat, it may be given by mixing with 
bran or oats. This powder is one of the very best for 
horses or cattle suffering with distemper, or trouble where 
the animal is debilitated and skin inactive.
